Waytansea Island?
Wait And See Island?
my friend who borrowed Diary from me after i read it just pointed this out to me. i hope this doesn't spoil the name for everybody, i can live with it but he says that every time he reads the name he sees it as four words and not two.
Hehe. i wonder if this was intentional. :confused:

I hadn't spotted it, until it was mentioned in one of the threads. I think it is an excellent touch. You see, this is what the whole island does: they have nothing to do with progress, they just wait (for the money to run out, for the next misty incarnation to appear, for money to come back) and see history repeating itself in a nice time loop. It is also a nice sinister warning for every Maura/Constance/Misty that comes to the island: Just wait... and you'll see what we'll do to you... Mwa ha ha ha ha...

I always have a problem "hearing" the names correctly in my head. For example, do you pronounce the final "e" in "Delaporte" and make it sound Italian-ish, or not?
Waytansee just came to me as WAY-tan-sea. I'm simple like that.. :(

i also imagined "De-La-Por-Tay" or something like that, maybe just "De-La-Port". i also imagined a sort of stereotypical Latin homosexual, so don't feel bad COpoetics. :) and, yes, i imagined him like that BEFORE i found out he was gay. he was a cool character, though, and it sucks there wasn't more said about him.

Note: I love how the inscription on Angel's gin flask was "Te amo" -the same thing Peter used to say to Misty, already giving us a clue that it might be a present from him. That, and the whole dark man wearing a "gold chain tangled in his grey chest hair" made me think of him as Latino.

[B]i read it as way tan sea.

but i see how it could be wait and see..that certainly makes a tad bit more sense. [/B]

Sorry, but I dont get why david Bowie is so popular, what is it about him anyway, his voice is terrible, his songs are bland in the extreme, and you just know that if he just started out this year, he would get nowhere with songs like his.....
